How is this dress possibly - even *remotely* - prettier than George Clooney's girlfriend's dress, or Katherine Heigl's dress, or Heidi Klum's dress, or Anne Hathaway's dress?

By calling this the best dress of the evening, you're basically outing yourself as a closet straight guy with zero fashion sense masquerading as a gay guy. In short, you don't know what the fuck you're talking about.

This dress was a little too busy but she looked incredible anyway her elegance and poise have no competition. CLASSY. We should all take some notes. Not a lot of class out there anymore. Repeat after me C-L-A-S-S, everyone!!!!

Penelope, Hillary, and Jennifer Garner (raisin face is her stylist) all had on very similar gowns. Isn't that a huge no no?

OMG that thing is FUGLY! What the hell is it? looks like a crow got electrocuted.

Why does Penelope look stunning in feathers but not Jessica Alba?!!! Could it be because you hate one and not the other?!
PS: J.A. does look like shit but that's because her dress is butt ugly.

Great, now if only she can learn to speak proper English! How long has she lived in the US? She sounds like she works overnnights at Wal-Mart.

You need to go back to fashion school. She must have been doing a favor for some designer, because this dress looks like she's wearing a curtain from a mortuary. She usually does get it right, today, not so much.

She has feathers like Jessica Alba and you don't criticize her you see shame on you.

Penelope is gorgeous but the dress is boring. On the red carpet it looked odd, especially around the mid section. There were however about 20 of this same dress on the carpet too so it was a downer. Not my fav.

what happened to your whole stance on "feathers are for f*cking birds"??? open mouth, insert foot
seriously? says – reply to this

212

dude, perez, this dress looks TERRIBLE. i mean, i love penel, but even alba's dress was etter than this.
I KNOW says – reply to this

213

THE ONLY THING I CAN ADD TO #23s GREAT COMMENT IS:
PEREZ,
YOU HAVE SUCKY TASTE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ryan says – reply to this

214

at least the other "latina's" plumage didn't contribute to her looking MORE like a bird, unlike penelope's in this turdtastic ensemble. oh yeah, and nice streaky hair too, emu!!!
perez, u have horrible fashion sense…
Maria says – reply to this

215

STUNNING! DEFINENTLY MOST BEAUTIFUL/BEST DRESSED FOR THE EVENING!! WOW, ONCE AGAIN THE LATINAS BROUGHT IT HOME!
brigit says – reply to this

216

I agree Mario….it looks like Jessica Alba's dress.
Here's the thing, you feel the need to have to stand out by your 'laticiny'. Apparently, Jessica feels comfortable in her own skin. SHe doesn't need to scream 'LATINA' in people's faces to make her own way. And she looked gorgeous and happy at the Oscars.

You're just a mean, hateful, spiteful and very, very weak person. I mean you still dye your hair pink…how old are you?
I really hate to see you of all people making any money off of your ignorance and low self esteem, but the readers read your stuff.
I never wished this on anyone in my life, but I truly hope bad things happen to you in your life. You truly deserve it.
You're just a pathetic person.

Ha sido la mejor vestida de toda la gala, sin lugar a dudas. Las demás me han parecido muy básicas; pero Penelope como siempre, ha sabido escoger bien. F-E-N-O-M-E-N-A-L

christin verho says – reply to this

"Plumage looks great on birds - not movie stars!" I'm pretty sure you said that about another dress from the same event.
lee says – reply to this

238

FORGET THE DRESS - GOSSIP!!!!! WHY WASN'T SHE WITH JAVIER BARDEM??? They didn't walk the red carpet and he didn't sit near him - when he got the Oscar and he didn't acknowledge her…but very touching that he spoke to his mom

I prefer the feathers on Jessica Alba…
tarajean0627 says – reply to this

245

okay so you slam Jessica Alba for havin feathers on her dress but this is best dressed? Please! She isn't even on the same level as Jessica! Sure the dress is nice but not near as beautiful as jessica's and at least jessica had some color to her dress too!

She is the most beautiful woman in Hollywood and even hotter in person than in pictures. What a beauty and yes, she does remind you of Sophia Loren.

Struck Out !! Looks like an ostrich is hiding under her dress trying to get out. And what's up with the crunched-up fabric around her middle. The dress is yuk and the color is drab.

um yeah your taste is starting to worry me perez! you dont like nicole kidmans dress but you like this one? come back to earth!
jen says – reply to this

264

I could care less about her dress. I would prefer not to see her at all. She is the most annoying person in Hollywood, from her horrible accent to her horrible acting. I can't wait until she gets too old to be in the mainstream media!!

She needs to coach Jessica Alba on how to exist.

Sarah says – reply to this

268

no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no the dress is not that cute. The swag on the bottom of her hip is not very flattering. This dress would have been gorgeous if did not have that swag.

calling you out says – reply to this

273

wtf??? didn't u just call out jessica alba for wearing a dress w/bird plumage on it??? isn't this the same shit PENE is wearing? just b/c she isn't on ur shit list doesnt mean she doesnt look like SHIT. Her face and hair are fine but the dress is absolute shite, just like alba's was too.
